We have both a hard wire back yard, 120 watt PS and solar front yard. The problem with the solar is the stock battery, Hampton Bay, Home Depot, when they go out (6 months to 1 year) replace with energizer recharge and they will really last all night. We also have solar and hard wire security lights those both work great. Solar is a great option if digging, routing will be a pain and the newer LED's are getting really good. For us the biggest benefit of Hard Wire is a easy on/off switch, you can turn of most solar but you have to get to location. |
